Port Authentication
You can use the following commands to specify how your Cayman
3220-H should respond when it receives an authentication request
from a remote peer.
3220-H should respond when it receives an authentication request
from a remote peer.
The settings for port authentication on the local Cayman 3220-H
must match the authentication that is expected by the remote peer.
For example, if the remote peer requires CHAP authentication and
has a name and CHAP secret for the Cayman 3220-H, you must
enable CHAP and specify the same name and secret on the Cayman
3220-H before the link can be established.

set PPP module vccn port-authentication chap-option
{ on | off }
Specifies whether CHAP authentication is enabled. By default, CHAP
authentication is turned off. CHAP authentication must be enabled
before you can enter other CHAP information. If CHAP is turned on,
it will be the first authentication method offered to the remote peer
during link negotiation.
authentication is turned off. CHAP authentication must be enabled
before you can enter other CHAP information. If CHAP is turned on,
it will be the first authentication method offered to the remote peer
during link negotiation.
If you turn port authentication off and peer authentication on, the
PPP software still uses the port authentication chap-name and
pap-name for authentication. As a result, the port authentication
names for PAP and CHAP must be identical to the peer names for
your Cayman 3220-H on the remote peer. If you do not configure a
chap-name or pap-name, then the authentication packets sent by the
local peer will have blank name values. This may cause
authentication to fail for some PPP implementations.
